The Freeman Corporation is a growing, multi-faceted wood veneer manufacturer and importer. Founded in 1914 by George E. Tomlinson and originally named Tomlinson Company, the Freeman Corporation began as a manufacturer of hardwood lumber, tobacco hogsheads and Tomlinson takedown tables, the first banquet tables capable of being instantly disassembled for storage. The sawmill steadily expanded and became a leading walnut lumber manufacturer. Following Mr. Tomlinsons death in 1953, Gene Freeman, Mr. Tomlinsons grandson, took over the company and expanded the walnut lumber production and log exporting business. In addition to its own production, The Freeman Corporation purchases from around the planet some of the world s most exotic and valuable veneers. It is recognized as the world leader in producing, sourcing and marketing veneers manufactured from sustainable, well managed forests.
